“Saving the world one foot at a time.”
The foot contains more bones than any other single part of the body; it is also very vulnerable.
The oldest leather shoe was found in 2008 in Armenia. It is 5,500 years old.
If The Shoe Fits, yes it brings back memories. I wrote a paper all about shoes in college. I have always liked shoes. I don’t know if it is the instant gratification of trying them on or just the fact that it does not matter if you are fat, skinny, poor or rich; you can always find a pair that will suit you fine.
I stopped at Just Comfort Shoes the other day to see if they carried a brand of shoes that I found in Boulder, Colorado a few months ago. Jambu is the name of this brand. This brand of shoes outsoles are made with partially recyclable and reusable rubber. They are comfortable, and stylish; not too rugged and not too dressy. The one I bought was a clog, but they also make other styles, as well. They do carry this brand at the store, so if you have tried them and liked them now you know where to go.
Just Comfort Shoes has 2 locations in Rehoboth: 237 Rehoboth Ave., tel. 302-227-2520, and 18756 Coastal Highway (shopping center where Starbucks is located), tel. 302-645-6590. You will also find them at The Avenue at White Marsh in Baltimore, Maryland, tel. 410-931-4296.
The owner of the store is Sharon Lee. The website is www.justcomfortshoes.com and they are also on Facebook.
Having said all this I want let you know that I have to be honest with you. In college I wore clogs and I loved them. I also wore the highest platforms of the time. I guess I am dating myself. I loved both styles. I am not sure when I saw the first Dansko clogs and Birkenstocks but my thoughts were that there was no way I was wearing them. I thought they looked good on someone else’s foot; not mine. Too big, too wide, too earthy, maybe?
Never say never, right? I have them all. They are comfortable, what can I say? With the Birkenstocks, I prefer one particular style, but it is all a matter of preference.
Just Comfort Shoes has come a long way since they first opened. They have so many brands for men, women and children. Some of them are made in Austria, others in Germany and, can you believe it?, some here in the U.S.
The store on Rt. 1 has plenty of parking. The one in Rehoboth, you will have to drive around but soon enough the town will be slowing down a bit and parking meters will be out.
I think Just Comfort Shoes has the largest selection at the Delaware Beaches of the following brands: Birkenstock, Dansko, Keen, Earth, Jambu, Vibram Fivefingers, Teva, Mephisto, Finn Comfort, Think!, Sanita, Sanuk, Poliwalks, Acorn, Taos. Also, they have just gotten the Minnetonka Moccasins in very pretty colors.
Sharon keeps updating the stores and a selection of boots has just arrived.
Guess what? Sharon also speaks Spanish.
Have a great rainy day!!! Talk to you later….
